Massim.io wins the Boostcamp 12!

The Microsoft Innovation Center Brussels selected Massim.io as the winner of the 12th Boostcamp during the final that was held yesterday at ICAB.

The Brussels-Capital Region Prize was awarded to Designer4me.

For this edition, the MIC Brussels partnered with Ipoome, a crowdfunding platform, to allow the finalists to start their very first fundraising during the event.

The winners

The startupMassim.ioconvinced the jury and the audience, therefore winning the Grand Prize along with an amount of 3000€ granted by Innoviris to allow further development. The startup, led by Filip Zastavnik, develops a computational platform built on a set of open-source simulation programs and allows for high performance simulations for many fields (construction, automotive sector, medical sector, etc.). The solution runs in the cloud, reducing the costs of such simulations while making them more easily accessible.
